Question

Which property makes it useful for us to transport LPG in cylinder

Answer 1

All users of LPG cylinders should take extra care when transporting the cylinders.

We recommend that you take the following care during transport:

Cylinders should be in good condition.Cylinders should be secured in an upright position to prevent possible liquid leakage (which is even more dangerous then a gas leakage).  Devices to secure cylinders upright are available in many stores selling LPG cylinders.All control valves should be safeguarded against damage.Cylinders should not be connected to any appliance while in transitDo not smoke.Cylinders should not be left unattended inside the vehicle, particularly during hot weather.

 

The quantity of LPG transported inside any enclosed vehicle should not exceed 13kg. A typical size for barbecue or cabinet heater is 9kg. The total quantity of LPG transported by the vehicle should not exceed 25kg.

Answer 2

Any vehicle used to transport LPG cylinders should:

1)Be suitable for the task, of adequate strength and in good condition.

2)Permit the cylinders to be transported in the upright position.

3)Be open (preferred) or have adequate ventilation.

4)Drivers and members of the vehicle crew are not permitted to smoke in or near any vehicle that is being loaded or unloaded with or transporting LPG cylinders. Means of ignition i.e. cigarette lighters, lanterns, portable cooking stoves, etc are not permitted to be carried or operated on or in the vehicle.
